The Ultimate Interface for Amstrad CPC (a.k.a. ULIfAC), is a modern multi function board, based around PIC 18F47Q10 Microcontrollers, designed and built by ikonsgr from the CPCWIKI Forums.ULIfAC is an evolution of USiFAC II board, with which is 100% compatible.
ULIfAC board expands the functionality of the previous USIfAC II board, by offering many new features on the same board:
| • 512Kb Ram Expansion |
| • 32X Rom Board |
| • 256Kb Ram Expansion + 16X ROM board on CPC 664/6128 |
| • 192Kb Ram Expansion + 16X ROM board on CPC 464 (Supports CP/M Plus, Symbos, Future OS) |
| • Automatic Rom mounting upon cold boot! |
| • Convert instantly a CPC 464 to a CPC 6128 using a simple RSX Command |
| • Run games/programs from a usb stick or PC Hard Drive (through WiFi module or UART serial cable).Save is also supported, as well as full access to ASCII files. |
| • Full read/write access of DSK images of both AMSODS and PARADOS formats. |
| • Very fast loading speeds of up to ~30+kb/sec (more than 6-7 times faster ,than a usual speed of a gotek/floppy disk drive). |
| • Access up to Four DSK images and choose them "on the fly", to support all multi-image Games. |
| • Load SNA snapshot files. |
